STABILITY INFORMATION - Fully laden displacement was used to evaluate the stability and buoyancy of the boat. The value of this displacement - Reduce speed in wavy conditions. can be found in the "Technical specifications" paragraph at the beginning of this manual. - Always adjust the speed and heading of - Any changes in the distribution of loads onboard (for example by adding a raised structure for fishing, fitting a radar or your boat according to the sea conditions.
Page 19
- This boat was tested using the stability rating STIX, which is a worldwide safety measurement of stability and which takes account of the length of the vessel, its displacement, hull dimensions, stability characteristics and flooding - The boat may capsize if carrying too much proofness.
Page 20
ACCESS TO THE BOAT - It is essential that both the cockpit and the Access to the cockpit engine compartment are kept closed when at sea. - When at sea close the guardrail side- opening or openings. - Slamming an access hatch may cause injury : always close the hatch gently and carefully.

RUNNING RIGGING - Check the general condition of the halyards and sheets and look out for any signs of wear. - Regularly check the condition of the cams. - Regularly clean the backstay blocks with fresh water. - Avoid aggressive gybing in order to reduce premature wear on the sheets, attachment points and gooseneck. - If halyard tension (mainsail/genoa) is too great, this can lead to problems when hoisting/furling.
Page 35
SAILS General points When travelling at over 20 knots, you are advised to stow the lazy bag. - The working life of a sail depends above all on regular maintenance. - When sailing, trim the sails to account for the stress placed on the fabric in order to reduce the chance of damage from strain.

YOUR BOAT IS FITTED WITH A BLACKWATER TANK To minimise odours from this tank, we suggest following the use and maintenance guidelines below: Holding tank - A blackwater tank is used solely for the temporary collection of water from the toilets. - The tank can be emptied in 2 ways: - By connection to a pumping system that empties the tank by suction.
Page 191
Maintenance of blackwater tank - The risk of unpleasant odours forming increases when the waste water remains in the tank for a long time. Never use automobile anti-freeze in the blackwater system: risk of poisoning. - Whenever possible empty the tank regularly, even before it is full. - Every time the tank is emptied put in about 5 litres of fresh water and add an appropriate detergent additive (available from chandleries).

14.5 ENGINE WATER INTAKE VALVE The seawater intake valve plays a crucial role in ensuring that the engine runs well. - Keep the filter under the hull as clean as possible; - Brush the filter whenever the boat is lifted out. This valve must absolutely always be opened before starting the engine.
Page 210
14.6 ANTI-SIPHON VALVE - The function of the anti-siphon valve is to inhibit the siphoning action when the engine stops, thus preventing a backflow of water. - It is possible that on starting the engine or at certain engine speeds some drops of water may be seen escaping from the anti-siphon valve. If this occurs, you must clean the anti-siphon valve: dismantle the water collector at the top of the anti-siphon valve, then clean the valve with fresh water to remove any impurities.
Page 211
14.7 FUEL FILTER Engine running problems may stem from various causes, including dirty fuel. The injection pump may wear out if there is water in the system. The water results either from condensation resulting from an insufficiently filled tank, or from a filler cap which has either not been closed properly or which has a damaged seal. In order to prevent any water infiltration, the fuel runs through two filters: - One filter is an integral part of the engine;...
